CHARACTERIZATION OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE VELOCITY AND POWER PROFILES USING ROAD TEST DATA

The use of electric vehicle road test data to characterize various missions in terms of velocity time-histories and battery power profiles is discussed. The data utilized were taken on the Griffon Van at the Detroit Edison using the VDAS on-board data system, which stores data in several frequency-of occurrence matrices. A new VDAS which stores the vehicle/battery data in time-based files has been designed and built. The availability of vehicle and battery data taken with an on-board data system permits the characterization of a variety of missions for different vehicle powertrains and batteries. Vehicle and battery designers will then have the information ne eded to assess the suitability of particular vehicle and battery designs for particular missions and applications.
